Gallagher could be allowed to leave Atletico Madrid this summer after failing to nail down a place in Diego Simeone’s starting XI, putting English clubs on alert.
Howe is believed to be a big fan of Gallagher, and is aiming to strengthen his midfield options with the likes of Sean Longstaff and Lewis Miley linked with moves away.
The former Chelsea midfielder, meanwhile, is keen to play regular football to establish his place in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad ahead of next year’s World Cup.
Newcastle are not the only side interested in Gallagher, though, as Tottenham also hold a long-term interest after failing to sign him from Chelsea last summer.
